Meanwhile, Chahal who got divorced from popular choreographer Dhanashree Verma before the start of IPL this year, quashed relationship rumours with RJ Mahvash during a chat on Raj Shamani's podcast. "No, there's nothing. People can think whatever they want to think," Chahal noted.

"For the first time, when I was seen with someone, people started linking us right away. Even though she clarified it, it was very hard for her. She was called a homewrecker... people said really nasty things. I felt terrible... We could not step out together," he added.

Talking about their pictures from a Christmas dinner, Yuzvendra stated that it was blown out of proportion. "We had a Christmas dinner with five people, but the photo was cropped to make it look like just the two of us were on a dinner date. It got to a point where we couldn't even go out with friends without worrying about what people would say," he said.
